The Right Weight

I think I may be a bit backward but my goal weight for myself has alway been 160. That's what I weighed in high school and I felt great at that. By nutritionist said she thinks I could get to 135 and maybe settle at 140. Am I being too easy on myself? Should my real goal be 135?

How tall are you and what is your age?

I am 5'5" to 5'6" and I am 29.

You have almost the exact same stats as me, and my goal right now is 150. But I think I can get lower than that. I picked 150 because that is the max I am supposed to weigh according to BMI charts, and I did not have surgery to still be overweight. That said, it is really difficult to know what you are going to end up weighing. Keep in mind that 160 may not look the same on you now as it did when you were in high school. I am already fitting into some of my old high school clothes, but not others because I still have more fat around my waist. Yet I am wearing a smaller ring size than ever before in my life. Things just aren't the same because my skin has stretched in places and I'm not as fit.

Don't get me wrong it be cool to be 135 but I have always had curves and a booty, I like that about my body. I guess I will just have to let it happen and see where I land and how I feel about my body. I' guess I will to keep my goal at 135 and if I don't hit I won't be the end of the world. I just want to be happy and healthy.

I'm going to shoot lower than I would normally so I have some play room, for lack of a better word for it. We shall see!

I don't think you can tell for sure until you get closer. My surgeon doesn't give out goal weights for that reason. I picked 170 and I am 5'11" and that puts me at the top end of 'normal'. I set small goals along the way... I know I want to be below 200.. I was 195 before I had my son and I don't remember being too thin....

I'm 5'6" and 135 right now. My goal was 150 but I kept losing because I stayed on plan. I figure my body will stop when it's the right weight. I will admit though, I'm not exactly curvy anymore. 

I am the same height and just a few years older, my doctor says 160 is a good weight for me.  BUT The NP at my surgeon's office gave me 205 for a goal! lol  They only expect 50%-75% lose of your EXCESS weight.  She told me that everyone having the surgery should expect to still be obese when they are done losing, and anyone who gets to goal weight either is over working out or under eating.....ugh

I just smile and nod when she says **** like that!

lol - I live, I learn.  Next time I'll just do this.
